The Lyrics
Almost to 100. Oh yeah, this song first came out in 1959, but, as I found out when I wrote "Hockey Player 99" for Wayne Gretzky, there's no provision here for Fifties songs, the way there is for the decades since.
I took my talents down to Chucky G
you know the guy that we all love to see.
He's got a site that we all love really fine
and now my total is... Parody 99.
I tried to write about the Dixie Chicks
and Bush's drinking up through '86.
He looked at my work, and I think it made him whine.
He said, "Mike, be careful... with this number 99."
I bent down and turned around and typed at my board.
I said, "I'm gonna write one that'll get me big-scored."
My fingers were all typing, they were all in accord.
I held my nose, I closed my eyes... out of my gourd.
I didn't know if it was day or night.
The nasty comments deluged Amiright.
And when I lampooned Bush for the 37th time
they wondered why I wrote this... Parody 99.
(saxophone break)
I held my nose, I closed my eyes... out of my gourd.
I didn't know if it was day or night.
The nasty comments deluged Amiright.
And when I lampooned Bush for the 37th time
they wondered why I wrote this... Parody 99.
Parody 99.
Parody 99.
Parody 99.
(repeat 'til fade)

Actually, 39 of my first 99 took swipes at Bush. Whatever it takes.

Michael - Congratulations on 99 entertaining parodies and 999 insightful and "nasty" comments. It's hard to believe that you have written 60 parodies that ignored Bush.
Whoa! Number 99, it would take me 5 years. Congrats M P.
I think this was before you started submitting here michael but i did this already. Way back in the ancient past when i was at 99 parodies. Same title to same original song and same basic concept. But mine version doesnt mention politics
congrats Michael....youre beating me to 100
Tone Def, I just looked at yours. Either you two have cloned brains or you have a "He's So Fine" suit on your hands.
And your 99th is a charm
I swear I didn't know about Tone-Def's version, though I have now seen it and given it all 4s.
This one was good too.
